*crashes in through ceiling* It is!
Always thought this one would be great in a modern movie, if it hasn't been used already... Gene Pitney's "Town Without Pity"
There's this assumption that ALL 50s/60s music is cloying and trite and ultra-wholesome but if you actually dig around and look, there's an enormous amount of variety, just as with any other decade. (You just don't see it on compilations or on internet radios) Especially when you look beyond North American/Britain based bands. Like Los Saicos..
And.. early Link Wray, the 'taboo' 50s/early 60s songs about death and dying-- some of it has a really charming, kind of sludgy spooky garage rock sound. (like Kip Tyler's 'She's My Witch' and The Frantic's 'Werewolf')
..Not to mention blues and even country. Screamin Jay Hawkins.. (Elmore James is great too.. and Son House)
Sometimes a a song will sound fairly peppy and lighthearted until you listen more closely and realize it's about a bloody love-triangle blowout in a jukejoint or whatever.

60's and very early 70's. After 75, they didn't make music anymore. Oh, there was that Disco Duck song tho...  |

I love Town Without Pity and Link Wray.
You're right, some of the more underground stuff back then could get kind of spooky unexpectedly. I guess that could be considered the first incarnation of modern psychobilly. Great links.

I don't remember much of the music from the 90s. But I did go through my "Garbage" and "Nine Inch Nails" phase then. Not sure what that was about. I like music from every decade but since I was a teen in the 70s, that holds my heart. But I like really old stuff too before my time. Something about it that appeals to me.

The decades of the new millennium are not doing very well.

Difficult. What do you mean by "the best music"? The most satisfying to listen to? The most developed? The cleverest? The biggest hits?
I tend to avoid the charts as music reaching it is usually so ultra-conservative that anyone can like it but doesn't hold interest for long. Artists these days aren't artists - but for production techniques most of them wouldn't be anywhere, which is why they mime their songs on shows.
